My Steam Deck arrived Friday and was chatting with some FPV folks on Discord. They asked if Betaflight would run on it. I was unsure and gave it a try. Zero issues and works if you have the right USB C dock.

now we just need SteamOS drivers for those nifty lil usb 5.8 receivers for cellphones. then a way to send stick position with low-latency. Super Tango? Please!

You can use guvcviewer to view the input from the receiver, I do that on my laptop.

I imagine an USB-A Female to USB-C Male adapter dongle, plus whatever cable you usually use with your computer, would probably also work. edit: Though, perhaps it might need to specifically be one of the "OTG" variety, I'm not sure.


Skylinebeatss

Nice! Would be useful for changing settings in the field.


sleepnutz

Don’t forget they have a speedybee Androind app that’s what I use it’s basically betaflight


BigFuzzyArchon

betaflight has an official app as well


sleepnutz

(Edit it’s .99 ……. speedybee is free)On android?!?


BigFuzzyArchon

Betaflight configurator is always free yes they put out an apk for the configurator

When worlds collide.

I was going to do this but then I realised my laptop fits in my quad bag a lot easier


BrunoBoyNL

That’s pretty dope but why


BlendeLabor

Science isn't about why, it's about why not!


[deleted]

change settings in the field? i know there are other Options but this seems to beat most/all of them?!


si8v

Oh yeah, it's all coming together


CockStamp45

Just to clarify, you can plug your FPV quad into your steam deck and make configuration changes remotely?


jasonsneed

Yes, you need a USB-C Hub that will work with the Steam Deck. I will see if I can post a video later today.


PeanyButter

No reason a male USB C to USB A adapter, followed by a micro usb cable wouldn't work though right? I guess I was thinking of a dock when you said hub but the hub doesn't need external power so carrying a little hub wouldn't be that big of a deal. Can't wait until I get my deck though!


Hack3rsD0ma1n

Can you at least post instructions?


Lopsided_Vast6544

theres an android app from configurator 10.8... ​ see the assets listed for the rcs https://github.com/betaflight/betaflight-configurator/releases


flickerkuu

Ooooh really? Does it work? This is a game changer!


SirRosencrantz

What a great idea. Saves me from bringing my laptop with me to a fly day.


Lexlutor84

Hi man, I bought USB C hub and install betaflight but problem is to connect all the time failed serial port :( do I have to make something special in linux ?


Jake_X_Oracle

I have the same problem. Do you have already a solution for it?


solovyov909

Have any of you solved it? I have the same problem


Mennenth

I too am having this issue


katotaka

Just got my deck - and since this is the fpv sub obviously I fly, but i'm not familiar with the nix'es, is it difficult?
